i recently made a galka and im lvling war right now but i know im gunna lvl blm in the near future also, i have no problem with their mp, i was just wondering is there any dmg difference between them and say a taru later on?

[Symbios]

INT affects magic damage...Figure it out.

There is a difference, but it doesn't matter.

[Ganbaruzo]

i didnt think it would ty ^.^

[Soupbowl]

My Ls has 4 galka blm, we always say "2 galka = 1 taru" not exactly true, but close enough.
We do well enough though.

WRONG. How does that not matter?

[Symbios]

Galka BLMs are better than most Tarutaru melee, anyway. At least the Galka race advantages has survivability bonuses for BLMs. INT and MP is going to do jack shit for Tarutaru when they're playing WAR, heh. =P

[Punicesvir]

lol great arguement. great he can survive a little bit longer? have fun lasting 3 hits longer only to die a miserable death because your nukes do nothing. also have fun /healing every battle.

[Symbios]

I was making the argument that Galka mages have more advantages than Tarutaru melee, not that Galka BLMs are great because of it. Galka have more INT than Elvaan anyway, and last I checked, Elvaan BLMs can hit the correct INT/skill requirements, albeit with a shitload of more gil investment.

All depends on what he plans on doing with his BLM anyway.

[Gyth]

He's leveling multiple jobs.
In the situations where a blm is needed a galka blm is perfectly fine.

If you're only going to level blm then its probably worth rerolling taru.

I've seen galka blm that do excellent damage on HNM. It's much, much harder to reach said damage as a Galka, as opposed to Taru, but it IS possible.
Just gotta work a little harder.

Also, MP does not matter at endgame, every blm knows this.

[Arkley]

Better to be a Galka BLM than an Elvaan BLM.

Actually, the native INT difference between Hume/Mithra and galka is only a few points.

Or are you saying that Hume/Mithra shouldn't be BLM either?

And don't cite MP, MP is irrelevant; the only meaningful difference between high and low native MP in an endgame situation is the benefits of long-term resting; since the first tick takes an extra 10 seconds, and additional ticks are more potent, resting longer periods of time is more beneficial.

However this is incredibly minor and generally will have no significant impact in the long-term; the most that will come out of it is 2-3 nukes over a long fight.

[Dyra]

How about we answer the question of: Why on earth did you chose galka in the first place?

Then we get to whether it can be good blm >.>

[azagarth1]

meh gears not all to hard to obtain or expensive on blm..... so thats non issue for me its the fact i have hp merits and sorc rings pretty much impossible for me to trigger lol.... that and i do nuke in 551mp which kinda blows, its 700 if i want to sacrifice around 7 int though..... However my friend went 8/8 mp merits and said it made a world of difference so... who knows ya? I rarely see tarus sitting over 500mp anyhow except from start of fight.

you can argue that i could slap on my mp gear for 950mp~ and go to town in that before i swap to nuke gear.... but all those nukes would go resisted then and i am a macro fiend lol.... kinda kills me on my mnk watching support heal my 250hp that changes when u ws lol....

galka do just fine in endgame events, id rather have one main sleeper in dyna anyhow ;D less chance to die. But if you really into soloing or low manning the mp is really gona hurt it, as in not happen. i really dont see a galka blm ever being able to solo limbus or a full salvage zone ever.

This is very true. Galka blm can do fine when there is a group of people. But in a lowman/solo situation, the MP is a crippling factor(soloing something like Brothers, or Bionic Bug. Not puddings).

[evilpaul]

Seeing as half the people posting things "Galka BLMs can't do but Tarutaru can" can't do those things themselves anyway I'm not sure how much it really actually matters.

[CrosisReturns]

lol galka blm but i support your efforts that is all

[Ganbaruzo]

i agree with you, and how many of them have played a galka would also be a good question lol
